Located on the shores of Lake Kinrin in Yufuin, Tenso Shrine offers a serene escape from the bustling tourist crowds. This small, historic shrine, dating back to the era of Emperor Keiko, features a torii gate standing in the lake, creating a mystical atmosphere, especially in the early morning mist. Dedicated to several deities, including Amenominakanushi, the shrine is considered a local spiritual spot. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil setting, admire the ancient trees, and experience a different side of Yufuin. The best time to visit is in the morning to witness the ethereal mist over Lake Kinrin.
